Maybe it was the moment when your 

Eyes first felt like home, the soft color

Of happy childhood skies.

 

Or all of the gentle smiles for no reason,

But the hook in your cheek pulls anyway.

The smirk that slows down time.

 

It could be the first time your touch

Felt like dancing in the clouds,

Giving me a glimpse of angels.

 

I believe it might’ve been the combination

Of all your soft kisses, your kind lips

Healing old, open wounds.

 

Whatever it may be, You are the one 

I’ve been keeping the door open for,

Waiting for your shadow to enter.

 

No matter the moment when, I whispered 

I love you to the night more times

Than you will ever know.

 

I laid with the glistening moonlight,

Watching you doze off into slumber,

Knowing that you were my dream.

 

Dark midnight’s dozing off,

praying for a love like you.

Disbelief in love at all.

 

The moon and I became friends,

She kept me company before

You found your way to me.

 

An angry ocean weeped

Inside me, day after day

Haunting traumas of a shipwreck.

On those lonely nights,

The moon told me to be patient,

For she knew your purpose in life.

 

Slowly with each sun wakening

Beside you, the waters began

To still, and the weight sank.

 

Unwavering scattered rain storms roll in,

still an unwelcome reminder

That abandonment does exists.

 

With fear, the ink poured out of my heart,

And tears fell into the moonlight.

Yet, she guided me through.

 

Faithfully laying next to me,

The moon spoke softly to me,

You are safe now.

 

She knew that my anxious mind 

Needed a soul like you, someone to ease

The treacherous waves and uproars. 

 

So when my troubles disappeared

And the clouds evaporated

All  for the first time, I knew.

 

With my fears gripped tight,

I whispered I love you in the night

Knowing it was everything combined.

 

It was the calm waters unknown to me,

The peak of sunny skies through your

Cloudless eyes.

 

So, I want you 

And I want the waves,

And the world to know.

 

I love you for how you feel like home

In every look, and the kisses I’m showered with,

For all the embraces sending me to the heavens.

 

The most terrifying and vulnerable

Act of my existence, quickly became

The only thing that made sense.

 

With one second of silence in your bedroom,

The moment I had worked up to

Had suddenly slipped out of my fingers.

 

But, the best moment was yet to come,

When you whispered back to me

Three words healing this anxious mind.

 

I love you too, and the night stood still.

Repeat it again, and again, and again,

The words will never get old.

 

Now I tell the moon all about you,

She knows the love between us both,

For she whispers back “I told you so”.
